The Sphere of the circles of the World: the Eternity, World of Men, and Black Night

I wanted an art graphical drawing which could later be printed on a table cloth or bed sheets. I will do a brief description but the artist is free to introduce changes or improvements as long as they are within the general concept of the work. The meaning of the drawing speaks of the Eternity (Sun, Moon, Stars), the world of Men and things that perish (a circle with changing scenes of happiness and sadness), and all encircled by the thin Black Night without end. This Sphere is a bit of a modern make of the Shield of Achilles described in Homer’s Iliad or WH Auden “The Shield of Achilles” poem. This Sphere or Shield contains three circles. The first circle at the center is small but it shows the Sun, Moon, and Stars. These can be anthropomorphic representations, for example a golden man or woman with a crown of light on her head. The second circle is the main body of the work and encircles the first one at the center. It must contain four scenes (or more if the artist desires) with equal combinations of joy and sadness. First scene could be a wedding celebration in a vineyard or a farm with several people drinking and dancing gaily around the couple. The second scene could be a little boy and a girl in a playground. Third scene could be a group of young boys walking in front of an old woman begging for coins, but the boys simply walk by without a glance or giving anything. At the side of the woman a young child in tatters cries. The scenario can be an urban setting such as a bad neighborhood in Brasil or in India. The fourth scene shows a man stealing a purse from a woman. Finally, the third circle must be a thin line of Black Night (or a Black Sea) surrounding everything. Some poems Homer’s Iliad and WH Auden make similar descriptions of this work. [login to view URL] [login to view URL]
